A collection of endearingly simple conversations with people who stand out from the crowd. The first journalistic book for children in a new, energetic graphic design.

Why is this gentleman in a wheelchair?
Why is this lady so fat?
Why blind people wear dark glasses?
Are the twins really the same?
Why does that lady have so many tattoos?

People are so curious because they are so different. And the children ask what intrigues them - but they don't always get the answers. That's why this book was written. People who stand out from the crowd in various ways answer simple questions a child might ask.

The heroes include a blind person, a bodybuilder, a transgender person, twins, a priest, a homeless person or a short person. Fourteen short interviews reveal the variety of human stories, experiences, and feelings. It moves and makes you think. It stimulates sensitivity, empathy and openness to human difference.

It's a book to read and talk to. For young and old, children and parents.
